The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is renowned for his haunting portrayals of desire and jealousy, the ambiguities of sexual desire, loneliness, anguish and death. Like his contemporary Sigmund Freud, Munch's art ushered in a new age and a new perspective focused on the intense personal feelings of man's inner self. Munch was the first modern visual artist to explore the universal human experiences, filtered through events in his own life. By manipulating color, line, texture, and pictorial details, he reworked his images in multiple print variations, continually renewing their power to express his artistic goals. Munch's prints show his persistent experimentation and virtuosic handling of woodcut, lithography, and intaglio which endowed different impressions of his primary motifs with new meanings.
Death and the Maiden was a common artistic genre of late-medieval allegory on the universality of death. Here Munch surrounds the two, embracing figures with a border suggesting human sperm cells - a motif he uses boldly in his famous lithographic series Madonna, and embryonic shapes connecting the mortal states of birth, life and death.

**the giclee process produces a superior quality, fine art reproduction from a high-resolution digital file of an image. The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs.
As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
